This week's Safeguarding briefing has compiled an resource list under the theme 'Summer Time Safeguarding'. Includes this link to a great website put together by Manchester Fire Brigade. Whilst some of the site is dedicated to local information and things to do in the holidays, there is lots of good advice for all of us on:
Barbecue Safety
Countryside Safety
Water Safety
Fire Safety
Two videos: Setting deliberate fires, and Water Safety

Protection from sexual abuse
Whilst its an uncomfortable thought, parents need to ask questions of any childcare provider, play scheme or holiday centre children's services, about how they prevent their workers harming a child. The NSPCC has a useful video about the prevention of sexual abuse in particular and what adults can do to ask organisations about how they keep children safe. You can watch the video here: Preventing Child Sexual Abuse (NSPCC)
